Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

Excellent work, guys. I'm tooling around with my settings as well. Can't decide if I like conservative yet. I've capped at 1.5GHz, and I still have no UX lag. I don't game on my handset, so I might even lower. Testing at 1.5GHz shows no notable differences in web rendering or other normal tasks, everything is fluid and snappy.

On a side note, do either of you use the LPM (low power mode) provided with mce-tools? I *think* I read somewhere that LPM caused battery drain, but I can't find any evidence of that. Any feedback?

Thanks guys!

Hi,

i also capped at 1.5Ghz and everything is running fine. I use LPM to double tap to unlock as minimec described here:

No battery drain here...and i never heard of it.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

New kernel release...

Code:

Changelog:



- CPU overclocking up to 2.9Ghz

- CPU underclocking down to 96Mhz

- Undervolt limit of 650mA lowered to 500mA

- GPU overclocked to 650Mhz

- Kernel and Ramdisk are now LZ4 compressed(should give a slightly     better boot time)

- LZ4 cryptographic api added

Hi,

this kernel version can be underclocked to 96Mhz and overclocked up to 2.9Ghz. I set the default frequencies to be the stock values to prevent crashes if you are not interested in manipulating the frequencies.

BEFORE flashing this kernel you should add 3 new entries to your voltage configuration if you are undervolting, for the 3 new low frequencies(242Mhz, 192 and 96Mhz) or your entries would appear at wrong frequencies.

For example if your old undervolt line looks like this:

Code:

echo 750 800 810 820 840 850 860 885 895 930 945 975 1020 1075 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

your new command should be:

Code:

echo 750 750 750 750 800 810 820 840 850 860 885 895 930 945 975 1020 1075 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

You won't run into any trouble if you forget to edit the command, because your setting for 300Mhz will now be applied to 96Mhz, 422Mhz to 192Mhz and so on, but you probably won't save energy.

The GPU is now overclocked to 650Mhz at the default voltage and a new 100Mhz clock setting is available.

The frequencies corespond to new power levels now:

Code:

pwrlevel  New        Old

pwrlevel0 650Mhz 450Mhz

pwrlevel1 533Mhz 320Mhz

pwrlevel2 450Mhz 320Mhz

pwrlevel3 389Mhz 200Mhz

pwrlevel4 320Mhz 200Mhz

pwrlevel5 200Mhz  

pwrlevel6 100Mhz

pwrlevel7  27Mhz  27Mhz

So, the GPU should use less energy when set to one of the old (450Mhz and below) frequencies.
Max Gpu frequency can be set at:

Code:

/sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclock

If you encounter any problems, please let me know.

Flashable ZIP is here.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

I had no problems at 2.9Ghz clock speed, but since i don't need so much power, i didn't test it very long.

@maximilian1st

Yes, 2.04.14 is the SFOS version i'm using right now. I'll wait for all my patches to be compatible with 2.05 and then i'll update.

I always used LPM on my two SailfishOS devices. I don't think that there is much battery drain.

A 'Yes' from my side. With undervolting alone you can reduce idle power consumption a little bit. That's my feeling... In my eyes also 'conservative' as governor helps a lot, but you don't need a 'mautz' kernel to set this CPU governor. Still testing all the rest...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

Yay... New kernel goodies...

So with new kernel v7, you obviously have to modify '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq'. Otherwise, you will never reach the new low frequencies.

My first quick test shows that 249'000 might be the 'sweet spot'. Lower frequencies will increase(!) idle battery consumption. I guess because of CPU time? I check my idle consumption over ssh with...

Code:

watch -n1 cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now

After my first enthusiasm with 'alucard hotplug', I am not that happy anymore. Tu much CPU activity... I am on 'msm_sleeper' now in my test program.

Right now my test settings are...

Code:

# Min/Max Frequency

/bin/echo "1574000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

/bin/echo "249000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq



# msm_sleeper

/bin/echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/msm_sleeper/enabled

/bin/echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/msm_sleeper/suspend_max_online



# voltage table (undervolt) (kernel v7 with new low frequencies)

/bin/echo "610 640 650 680 680 730 740 760 770 780 800 810 855 870 900 950 1010" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table



# simple gpu

/bin/echo "320000000" > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

/bin/echo "4" > /sys/module/msm_kgsl_core/parameters/simple_laziness

/bin/echo "7000" > /sys/module/msm_kgsl_core/parameters/simple_ramp_threshold

/bin/echo "simple" > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor



# set governor

/bin/sleep 10

/bin/echo "conservative" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor



# set I/O scheduler

/bin/echo "noop" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

Sorry, i forgot to mention that you have to edit scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq to use the new frequencies.

I also think that 192 and 96Mhz are too low, maybe the CPU can not go to sleep at these low frequencies and thus uses more power.

Thanks for the tip with the battery consumption over ssh!

Just follow the steps in the first post of this thread, but instead if the sailfish image linked there, you could try this one:

http://images.devaamo.fi/sfe/hammerh...1610241556.zip

This is SFOS 2.0.4.13 and the one linked at the front page must be 2.0.1.11...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

So, umm.. Could someone do a little explanation on what is the current level of usability should I buy a Nexus 5 and install the port and Sfdroid, since a majority of posts here simply go over my head.

If the level of usability is good enough, I might give it a try. I'm not reliant on Android apps, though I do use a few actively but they don't require camera, bluetooth, audio etc, which I realize don't currently work.

I am capable of doing just about anything following clear advice but my techical knowhow of Linux etc is very limited.

Out of box it works fine, minus the battery drain. That's what we're aiming to clear up with the mautz kernel and other tweaks and settings. We've all made some changes in one way or another to fix bugs or improve upon the experience, all in this thread.

The whole experience can be described as "beta". You may encounter a few bugs or glitches here and there. For example, sometimes lipstick (the UI and touch interface) stops responding for me after I hang up from a phone call. We've gotten around this by adding a keystroke to powermenu to restart lipstick with the power button, should it glitch.

Aside from that bug, I've yet to see any issues that prevented me from using the device as a daily driver. That said, your mileage may vary. While I feel it's in a usable state for most people, it isn't for the faint of heart.

I don't run sfdroid, as I actively avoid Google et al wherever possible, so I wouldn't be able to comment on that. I haven't NEEDED it for anything, though, so I can't say I miss it.

@dpurgin's Call Recorder does not work (due to pulseaudio problems)
Phonecalls via Bluetooth headset have very bad audio quality, cannot hear anything. (but music quality via Bluetooth is very good)
GPS takes maybe about 1 minute to lock (due to AGPS problems I think)
wake-up with doubletap does not work (but there is a workaround, and possible solution too but I have not tested that)

2.) Very little configuration and tweaking required, it's pretty much like SFOS on Jolla sbj-1

3.) Some random issues possible, for example the screen-locs-after-received-phonecall-ends, but there is a solution how to get out of the lock.

4.) How well sfdroid works; I have absolutely no idea, I don't use any Android applications and hopefully never will!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

Regarding the GPS issue above:

I've fixed the GPS issues on my end. I'm using an old baseband and I made some edits to /system/etc/gps.conf:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org <- (you can use your region, the default in this adaptation was on izatcloud.net, which never worked for me)

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com <- (may be default, but I think I edited this one under the AGPS settings)

Baseband version is KTU84M M8974A-2.0.50.1.13 from the Android 4.4.3 factory image. You can find this radio image here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...U84M_RADIO.img

Flash with fastboot: fastboot flash radio NEXUS5_KTU84M_RADIO.img

I tried MANY things, tweaks, changes, baseband versions, etc., and this is the only thing that gets my GPS to lock quickly, accurately and consistently.

Edit: Also, there is a known "hardware issue" with the Nexus 5 GPS antenna. The contacts often wear and lose their "spring" resulting loss of connection randomly or persistently. Most of the guides for fixing this issue called for placing a piece of card stock under the contact ribbon cable with some glue or tape, to increase the height and ensure a proper connection. I tried that "fix", but it didn't last. What i wound up doing - and would do again to any Nexus 5 I got my hands on - is adding a couple of tiny balls of solder to the pads on the back of the cover. If you need more info, I'll be glad to help.

This may be useful for anyone accessing work email (office365) using sfdroid. My company requires we install Microsoft Intune to check for android compliance, which it does fail. However, making the below changes will allow it to pass and you can enroll and get all the benefits.

SFOS; 2.0.1.11
CM:12.1
SFDROID: (FIRST PAGE)

Step 1
Under /system/build.prop
Look for ro.build.tag=test-keys
Change to ro.build.tags=release-keys

Step2
Rename /system/xbin/su to anything (I named it sux)

You can now enroll your sfdroid android environment.

I am using 2.0.5.6 since several days, coming from 2.0.4.x I thought that the dbus bug should not have any impact on the above OTA upgrade but it took several attempts and a complete night to upgrade, i had to interrupt it, reboot, install the package where it was hanging manually and do a version --dup again.

Do you guys run sfdfoid on cm12.1 + sfos >=2.0.4? I only get the blue cm logo? How can i fix this, i.e. rerun the very first scripts to configure cm (language settings etc)?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview

My first OTA to 2.0.5.6 broke my installation, as I didn't disable any repos or do what I was supposed to do. My fault! Anyway, this may be anecdotal, but now I'm on a "fresh" install (2.0.1.11 flash to 2.0.5.6 OTA directly) and I don't seem to have the notorious screen-on battery drain that we've been fighting since 2.0.2.x. At least nowhere near as bad. Whatever was updated must have fixed it.

Again, this could very well be conjecture, but through my testing I'm getting considerably less battery drain than before. I'm installing the latest mautz kernel and tweaking a bit. Will report findings. More to come!

You can use wpa-supplicant via the command line to connect to EAP/PEAP networks, but a better workaround would be Roamer from OpenRepos. (https://openrepos.net/content/nodevel/roamer)

This is a GUI application that will allow you to create configs to connect to Enterprise wifi networks, WPA Enterprise, EAP/PEAP, etc.

I'll address the other points shortly. Thanks!

That was (finally!) implemented in 2.0.2. In 2.0.1, you are stuck with this patch from Openrepos.

I ran into the same problem, when using the new 2.0.4.13 image. No problems when using 2.0.1.11 image and updating to 2.0.5.6.

@ deprecated

Do you use okboard or only the stock keyboard?

You can access the files and folders of sfdroid normally like it used to be on an android only device.

sdcard for example can be found at /storage/sdcard0. Maybe you need root priviliges to access the folders.
